Most of the unofficial results of the election have been tabulated. They're
still unofficial because overseas federal employees
etc. are allowed to vote and their votes
can take up to ten days to arrive back and be counted.
The executive summary is that Mark Falzone defeated Debra Panetta
by 225 votes in Saugus. He also carried the out-of-town districts, and
is thus the official Democratic candidate for Representative in General
Court (for the 9th Essex, which includes all the Saugus
precincts except 3 & 10). The official Republican candidate
for the same is Michael Motzkin.
